• Jiva, the bird that partakes in the fruits of life, represents the human soul caught in the cycle of worldly pleasures and sufferings.
• Isvara, the silent witness perched on the same tree, symbolizes the Supreme Being, who remains unattached and unaffected by the material world.
• As Jiva continues to experience the ups and downs of life, it begins to notice Isvara’s serene presence and eventually turns towards it, seeking liberation and spiritual wisdom.
• The book provides a detailed commentary on this allegory, explaining how the Mundaka Upanishad teaches the path of self-realization and the importance of understanding one’s true nature.
• Through simple yet profound verses, it encourages readers to transcend the material world and seek unity with the divine.
• Each chapter carefully unpacks the symbolism of the two birds, guiding readers toward a deeper comprehension of the concepts of karma, dharma, and moksha.
